"LinkedIn's growth has reaccelerated after the MSFT acquisition to the order of 35%."

I honestly don't know a single professional who still updates or cares about LinkedIn. I have no doubt that it still has the momentum from late comers and straggers, but...eh.

Mind you, it was on the outs long before Microsoft bought it. Not its fault, but it just hit the no longer novel curve.

"with the vast resources it has available to it now"

This part is almost parody, and reeks of comical self delusion (or astroturfing). It is the rally cry of how so many of Microsoft's purchases faded to black.
